Microbiological analysis of legume flour breads was performed
at days 0, 5 and 7 of storage. There were no differences (P > 0.05) in
mesophilic aerobic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, spores or yeast and
moulds counts of the four formulations. Mesophilic aerobic
bacteria were between 2.41 1.70 and 2.88 1.51 at day 1. At day 7,
a slight increase could be observed, counts being between
3.94 1.82 and 4.95 2.27. Enterobacteriaceae were not detected in
any sample during the three points of study. Bacterial spore counts
were between 1.03 0.07 and 1.86 0.98 at day 1 and reached
counts between 2.24 1.24 and 2.83 1.32 at day 7. It
